Long Island teen beating caught on tape
Female Teen Bullies Record Beating of 12-Year-Old Girl, Post on Internet:
Three ninth graders from North Babylon High School in Long Island posted their beating of a 12-year-old girl on the internet. The article mentions YouTube and MySpace but doesn’t say if the video was posted on either site.
Beaten in front of a neighborhood elementary school, the victim was verbally assaulted, her hair was pulled and she was repeatedly slapped and kicked in the head and body before the young gang ran away laughing. The kids were caught after school administrators learned other students were watching the video on the Internet.
The victim’s parents did not want to press charges.
And no I don’t have the video and if I did I wouldn’t post it.

i go to NBHS and its really not that bad. It’s the damn freshman that are always starting crap thats why their butts are seperated from the rest of us. The only reason the fight got so popular is because it was posted online and those girls got caught by the Adults. They should have read up on the fact that whatever you have on your MySpace can get you introuble in school. Whether its on school grounds or not. TRUST there have been worse fights. Okay this whole thing is SO OVER. By the time we get back to school Next Monday no one will care. There will be something else. It’s HighSchool. The definition is DRAMA! Show me a school that doesnt have fights! Come On Now!

Amazing… I’m curious about this video. Do I like the idea of a 12 year old girl getting beaten? No. But I am curious as to how stupid the kids beating her up had to be to not only do so and film it, but then put it up on the internet.
It’s like research and rubber-necking combined.

Black kids don’t spend like that on fashion statements in general, just a few. That’s where stereotypes come from. Scott, would it be fair for people to assume you live in a crappy trailer that smells like piss and beer and that you flunked out of high school just because you have racist attitudes that suggest little worldliness or formal education? That’s a stereotype. They don’t hold up.
Young people of all races make status driven bad decisions. Boys of all races put too much into their rides if that’s what the culture their living in puts a priority on. Think about it. I’ve seen some white boys in ridiculously enormous pickups they just don’t need.
The idea that someone can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps is a cultural myth created to make keep black people down, as is the idea that racism is over and if brown-skinned people fail it’s their own fault.
As with all the messed up young people in these news articles, kids can’t do other than what they see and are taught. They model themselves after what’s around them.
The education to excel, including the crucial support provided in good schools, is available to far more white children than black. Look at black kids in suburban schools. They do as well as white kids. One black girl from the inner city I know is bussed to an excellent suburban school. She’s captain of the winning debate team.
Most inner city white kids I know struggle and often fail. Those schools suck. I know a black girl, one of the top 10 sharpest kids I have ever known. Also honest, brave, generous, good-hearted and humorous in her quick wit. Our cultural myth is that she’ll distinguish herself and get a full scholarship somewhere that can handle her brilliance. There is no such scholarship, no such support, no such education. It’s bullshit.
Black kids should blame us white people. I know black boys, good boys on their way to work, who get stopped “walking while black.” White society has done an elegant job of creating the illusion that racism is over, then with racism supposedly over, schools supposedly equal, all these supposed inititives and programs, black kids kept in the cultural ghetto we have created to contain them, failure becomes their own fault, because lo, behold all these “opportunities” and all this “equality.” Myth. It’s not there. I know precisely what opportunities there are. Almost none. I can’t get this girl into a top school from a crappy city school that hasn’t lifted a finger to prepare her. If she, with her remarkable intelligence, can’t get to college from the city, few will be able to. Very few kids of any race get to college without effective support.

“Black kids should blame us white people.”
thats the problems with this world always blaming someone else for your problems or lack of oppurtunity, realize who you are, figure out the problems that ail you and fucking do something about it.its called change and it actually can work if you quit trying to blame others.

Scott, blame is a very potent word. We’ve created a myth that it’s weak to “blame” anyone, that victims are weak and it’s weak to see ourselves as victims. All very Grrrlpower, Blackpower. Destructive cheerleading is what that is. Why do you think so few violent rapes are reported? When you’re a victim of immoral behavior, you need to rise us, place blame, point a finger, and say “I have been a victim.”
What the hell could be more blame-worthy than a public servant police officer oppressing a good kid dressed up nicely walking to work just because he’s black? We are not to tell this boy he is strong, shrug it off, keep trudging along. Bullshit. Real power is going to the police precinct and placing blame, giving car and badge numbers and being heard. Criticisizing placing blame, saying keep quiet, is an oppressive tool.
Speak up, blame away, insist on better, racism is not over!

Victoria,
That “acting white” bullshit is a tool kids of color use to scrounge around for pride and identity in a very tough, oppressive situation that feels helpless. It’s kids like you that combat that idea. Good grades, working hard ARE acting black!
Talk to police and school officials. Maybe walk up to a black officer. Be calm, mature. Insist that you need to be safe, that they need to deal with this girl. Don’t fight back yourself or you loose your position with the autorities. Be calm, grown up and insistent, ok?
What grade are you in? You want to go to college? Look on the internet, find a city official, a college professor, a church leader who is black and tell him or her you want an education and you need an advocate. Or find a white ally in a similar postion. You can find white allies in colleges, where it’s easy to get office emails. Again, be insistent, patient and persuasive.
Also, dress nicely, like a grown up working in an office, and go to the school board. Tell them you are a serious student who is going places and insist on their help and support. Maybe they’ll get you in a better school. You can also try that at a private school.
Always dress up and be mature, calm, friendly but insistent. You will need to be persistent.
Kids don’t realize this, but adults feel helpless too. So many kids, so much adversity and no clear way to help. But one kid who makes a strong impression, one kid who is polite, appealing, and persistent, that we can do something with. Dress up, don’t complain, be sweet, just insist. OK?
Go to the website of a college you like. Find a professor in a department you like. Email their office and say basically this:
I am a black girl in a very bad city school. It is not uncommon for me to be physically and verbally assaulted. Despite this, I am a good student who works hard. I want to go to your school to study____________. Almost no kids from my neighborhood make it to college. Please tell me exactly what I can do to achieve this goal and I will do it. I appreciate any help you can give me. Sincerely
Then you strike up a correspondence until he or she is attached to you. Have an adult involved so it’s safe.
A college professor can get you into his or her school. They love to have the chance to make change in the world, even for one kid. If your appeal doesn’t work with the professor you choose, choose another and another until it does. Always have every email you send formal and proofread by someone, every time, even after you get to know the professor.
Chances are your high school will not adequately prepare you for college courses, so you need to dedicate yourself to going to the college help center every single day even though that’s kind of embarrassing or you will flunk out. You should also see if the college offers a decent counselor to help you with the major culture shift you’ll experience. Ideally, find a Black mentor who had to do all these extra steps to get a fair chance too.
If there’s anything else I can do to advise you, please let me know.

Mag,
Poor Scott is probably an undereducated young white man (our most privileged race and gender) with a limited enough intellect that he cannot relate beyond personal experience. Unfortunately for him, that means he will not be able to understand victimhood until he is made a victim, like perhaps being assaulted by superior numbers in a secluded spot through no fault of his own. Sadly, some must learn experientially. Statistics and his attitude being what they are, he shouldn’t have to wait long before he provokes some group into making him a victim.

Jan 9, 2008 at 2:23 pm
I have had my ass kicked by multiple people on multiple occasions………. and I deserved it, i was in the wrong place at the wrong time saying the wrong things……..I volunteered my self for the beatings. I dont consider my self a victim and I dont dwell on it……shit happens build yourself a bridge and fucking get over it.
Dan
Jan 9, 2008 at 2:48 pm
No one’s suggesting people who’ve been victimized do other than “build a bridge and get over it.” But part of getting over it is seeking justice. Seeking justice is a brave, bold move that helps protect other people.
If you ever had your ass kicked by strangers on your way to your truck after work, or in a similar situation, you did not deserve it. I hope you reported it. People can’t be permitted to act that way. If someone told you that you were at fault, they were wrong.
If you’re talking about situations where you courted violence, talked smack and got jumped for it, then those were risks you chose to take and you’re right, you were a participant, you did get the trouble you were looking for. But do you really imagine just because you incite violence everyone who gets beaten does it?
scott
Jan 9, 2008 at 4:26 pm
I have been a victim of both, and the courting of violence came in my younger years of going out to bars and drinking. These days we Texans can carry a firearm with a permit, its an amazing tool to reason with when you are approached by thugs at 12 am while on the way to the mini store to get a gallon of milk.

Jan 19, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Scott, are you seriously pretending you were never a kid who used lingo and cultivated rad behavior that the adults around you thought idiotic? Come on, Just Me told us he’s a high school kid. You keep busting kids up in this discussion for language their using. Adults insisting they’re in a parallel position than kids is one of the main themes of this whole damn blog.
You’re assailing a kid, man. Come on. It makes you look small.
Just Me, in most of the discussions on this blog, people defend criminal behavior by saying the people who committed the violent acts are really nice, cool people. When someone does a shitty thing, their friends need to acknowledge the shitty nature of the act or those perpetrators will never have what they need to grow and be better people. Sometimes friends need to tell their friends when they cannot get behind something they did. Friendship isn’t blind support, it’s telling it like it is. Saying “I got your back” when someone is doing something bad is false friendship. Real friendship is tougher than that, requires risks.
Assaults are crimes. They can’t be permitted. Small acts of violence almost always become bigger ones. It scares me that you think an act of violence is somehow ok because no one was leaking serious blood. Are you serious? Can you image how that sounds to people, how it makes the school you’re defending sound to us?
Funny how you dropped the hood rat lingo to address Scott’s racism. Let me tell you how you come off to adults. First posts: whoa this kind of uneducated, hostile kid talking stupid nonsense. Then your response to Scott: Ah, he’s actually a smart kid who can communicate and plus he knows fights are wrong!
These are the two things you can choose from in life: arguing, defensively locked in battle all the time or getting what you want from life. You came on to this blog all revved up throwing kid-speak in our faces. You sounded like a punk to us. Now that’s all fine if you want to enjoy the feelings of a fight, which you got from Scott. You got a nice ugly scrap going. So why hall out the sophisticated voice only after the racial slurs? (notice he included whigger and white trash because he didn’t know you were Black. He was poking you.)
Everything in life is perception. Perception is far more important than truth in the end. People perceive you well, you’ll get a lot of what you want. You can sit back on your right to sound and look and act however you want, because it’s true, but I can tell you now, you won’t “win” in the end or barely ever. It’s just how people work.
scott
Jan 19, 2008 at 3:51 pm
These arent kids, kids go to elementrary school, most of these “kids” could be locked up for life if they committed murder or vicious assaults like the ones seen on you tube everday. These high schooler’s should be preparing themselves for the real world and instead run around with their heads in their ass, not giving a fuck about anyone but themselves. When we had fights in high school (1991) we fought one on one. Today these kids trap a person when they are alone and all wail on them over stupid shit. This mob mentality did not exsist when I was growing up, I used to live behind the high school and if there were 2 people that were going to fight, everyone knew when and where it was going down…….in my backyard……it was so well known that sometimes the principals would be there before we got there………but when they went down it was one on one, fist to fist and when the other person went down there were no kicks to the person on the ground, and if they had they would have gotten their ass kicked. These days when they go down all of the cowards jump in and get a piece.
Dan
Jan 19, 2008 at 6:34 pm
Scott, it’s too hard to rebutt your sweeping generalizations. “Mob mentality did not exist in ‘91?” You’re kidding, right? No individuals got jumped by groups in 1991? People didn’t fight one-to-one in 1991?
One of the biggest mistakes we see reflected in these discussions is thinking teens are adults. They are kids who need adult supervision, intervention, and limits. They are confused, emotional, high-strung, and easily influenced. At their stage in life, teens cannot be permitted to create or conduct a culture all on their own. When we let them, we’re to blame.
Sounds like you were a pretty wild, confrontation kid. You must know this stuff.

Jan 19, 2008 at 11:42 pm
dan — i wasnt justifyin the fight i was simply sayin u dont noe the whole story.. people r allowed their mistakes .. r u expecting people to do no rong in life? u say i sounded like a punk which is strange since i dnt challenge ANYBODY on their opinion all i said were the facts. and p.s im not black. i happen to b white with blonde hair. how can a person “talk black” how does anyone talk a color? can u talk purple? slang isnt a color just like the hip-hop lifestyle isnt. in its own strange way its a culture. and why is seen as a bad thing to ” act black ” but a good thing to “act white.” that 2 me sounds like another form of racism. B.T.W dan, im not kissing your ass when i say this but with how u come off in your replys to my comments makes me very happy. u sound intelligent and not agrumentative. u discuss ur view. i may act immature with how i type and the way i phrase things but it only b/c im not pompus to where i feel it necessary to sound high and mighty. so, although that sounds very kiss ass i dnt mean it that way. i just wanted to saw how i feel about ur replys, and im sure scott will have somethin point less and rude to say about it.. so scott… what is it??
Dan
Jan 20, 2008 at 12:46 am
Just Me, I thought when you responded to the “nigger” portion of Scott’s “wiggers , niggers and white trash”, I assumed he’d hit the mark there. I took your jargon for kid slang, not Black, until you responded so.
All I’m saying is, you sounded like a punk crudely defending atrocious behavior. The, voila, kid with a good head when Scott got after you.
Oh, you don’t need to kiss my ass or anyone’s. It’s your choice. But if you were trying to persuade with your first post, you did the opposite. You validated Scott’s Lord of the Flies opinion of young people and young culture. I for one wish kids wouldn’t act like dumbasses just to show adults what badasses they are, not all the time. Scott needed an intelligent comment from a hip, together young person. Instead he got a mess of slang and defensive smack talk that only bolstered his point. I do not want to see scott’s point bolstered. I’m glad you were able to provide us with better, because we really do not need any more hateful misperceptions perpetuated about young people out there.
It can feel cool to be edgy and abrasive and dumb down your speech and take contrarian views to instigate fights, but here, where adults are arguing about kids and who they are and how bad they are, I personally do not want to see kids defending that stance because I don’t believe kids are any of those things.

You guys are all a bunch of idiots to even carry on the conversations you are having. Dan, you are dealing with ignorant people and there is no sense trying to rationalize with them. You obviously have some what of an education and shouldn’t lower yourself to “Just Me” or Scott’s dialogue. They cannot even make a comment without abbreviating it like a 10 year old on a cellphone.

WOW! Scott, you somehow found a way to take this conversation, from idiotic, to even more idiotic. For you to be on this site, saying the things that you are is beyond me! You call yourself intelligent, but use words like “ni**er”. That is not intelligence my man, thats ignorance. That word isn’t one that should be used in society at all. For you to bring race into whatever this conversation started about, is just as immature. Im not sure how old you are, but if youre anywhere between 12 and 50, you need to grow the hell up. Think about how you telling other people that they need to educate themselves, and using the language you continue to use, is really going to affect anyone. You are a pompous idiot, and you believe yourself to be more intelligent than you actually are. There is no reason for your language, especially with children being on this site. Do you get some special feeling out of calling a little 13 yr old girl names like that, does it make you feel bigger, or better? You, my man, are scum, that is infecting the children interested in the internet. Lock yourself in your house so that you may no longer bother the social status of our country, thank you!

Mainly because its nice to understand where people with those thought processes are coming from. I do, however, wish him the best.
